Blackstone Code

Compared with the civilian free market, the military industry market is actually more fair, especially when there is a war.

The first thing the military considers is how to win the war, not how much money it can add to its account by purchasing some inferior weapons that can kill itself.

So as long as you have a good product, you don’t have to worry about not being able to sell it.

But the civilian market is different. Most of the people's ability to distinguish good from bad comes from the media and the sellers themselves.

It is unlikely that an average lumberjack will ever understand the makeup of a car and tell whether a car is good or bad.

Their method of identification comes from some media and so-called professionals. In fact, if you think about it carefully, they are all "professionals". Aren't they necessarily people in the industry?

Will they tell the truth to people outside the industry?

Certainly not!

But the people don’t know and don’t know.

If Ankok Industries wants to enter the civilian field, the first thing it must face is competition in the entire industry.

Business competition is terrible, with high costs and high risks. Now Ankok Industrial has made a little money for Mr. Wardrick, but it rashly competes with those brands that have been in business for decades or hundreds of years.

He still felt somewhat uncertain.

He is not the president of the consortium now and does not have so many resources. It will be difficult to do it.

"And you may not know it, but there will be a lot of...trouble here."

Lynch stretched out his hand to signal Mr. Wardrick to tell him, and the latter was willing to tell Lynch something he didn't know.

"Just like cars."

"Previously, the federal government required the industry to conduct self-discipline and rectification. They established an industry committee to organize various auto show activities."

"These activities are promoted by the government, have social attention, and have media influence. They are becoming mainstream media promoted to society."

“Many companies want to participate, but some are unable to participate.”

"Without such a platform, if we want to promote it, the cost will be much higher."

"Moreover, they will create some artificial trouble!"

The issue of industry self-regulation is also one of the policies promoted by Mr. Trueman during his tenure.

Some people see this as an encouragement to capitalists in the general environment. At the same time, when formulating policies, Lynch believes that capitalists' pursuit of interests will make them less united than people think.

Internal conflicts and competition will give small and medium-sized enterprises opportunities to develop and grow.

Yes, this policy was also driven by Lynch.

How to say the effect?

It’s hard to describe in one word.

Within the scope of the federal economic field dominated by capitalists, and in the nature of capital-first social foundation, industry self-regulation only gives big capitalists the opportunity to formulate industry rules, but does not harm the interests of big capitalists.

At least it did not act as a constraint on big capitalists as imagined.

Does this mean Lynch failed?

No, he didn't fail.

In fact, he had known for a long time that such a result would occur. Industry self-regulation must be effective only when a decisive neutral force appears.

For example, the federal government has established a new department that is responsible for industry self-discipline and industry rule formulation and review.

Under such circumstances, the words of big capitalists do not count, and small and medium-sized business owners have the power to vote.

If big capitalists want to formulate industry rules according to their own ideas, they must satisfy the interests of small and medium-sized business owners.

If they cannot meet the interests of small and medium-sized enterprise owners, then everything will be done according to everyone's common wishes.

Secret voting can sometimes be a big killer for big forces!

Lynch's original plan was to reform the policy and form an industry self-regulatory management committee after it lost its value for promotion.

Through this committee, a certain degree of influence and control is exercised over industries throughout the federation.

It's just that sometimes, plans can't keep up with changes.

But from another perspective, this is not a failed policy, because Lynch can still influence the presidential palace and intervene in these situations.

And because dear Mr. Trueman died for the first time, we can take action against these capitalists in a greater degree.

Lynch said in a voice that only he and Mr. Wardrick could hear, "Do you think the current industry self-discipline committee is a disguised monopoly?"

The next second, Mr. Wardrick resisted the urge to stand up, took out his cigarette case, and lit a cigarette.

How did Mr. Wardrick die?

Because he touched the fundamental interests of capitalists, he died.

The ultimate pursuit of capital is absolute monopoly, but Mr. Trueman wanted to prohibit even market monopoly in the practical sense, so he died.

At this time, Lynch suddenly said such words, it is difficult for people not to think about it, what is he hinting at?

Mr. Wardrick's eyes were hidden behind the smoky cigarette butts. He looked at Lynch for a while, then looked away and looked out the window.

He remembered a story.

The story is not long.

It is said that on the street in a downtown area of ​​​​a city, I passed by the intersection in the morning and found a dead person on the side of the road.

The first person to discover the deceased did not say anything and left here as if he did not know what happened.

Then the second, the third...

Many people discovered the deceased, but many did not take any further action.

Knowing that a fool had discovered the deceased, he shouted "There is a dead man here..."

Immediately afterwards, someone called the police, and the fool was taken away to assist in the investigation.

At night, the news showed that a fool killed an innocent pedestrian on the street...

The story is absurd, but meaningful.

When everyone is silent, the first person to speak up may not be recognized by others!

Even if what he said is correct and the truth!

If Ankok Industries begins to expand into the civilian market and faces various forms of resistance from some big capitalists, it stands up and calls out "monopoly", what will happen?

earthquake?

Tsunami?

The end of the world?

neither knows!

But one president has already suffered on this issue, and whoever speaks out first will undoubtedly offend a lot of people.

Mr. Wardrick was thinking about whether this was necessary and whether it made any practical sense.

Mr. Wardrick did not rush to refuse or agree. He raised his head and asked Lynch, "Is there any actual value in doing this?"

Lynch nodded and said, "Of course!"

"It is still a mystery who arranged for the assassination of the beloved president of the federal people. We can use such things to break the dominance of the Northern Industrial Group in many fields."

“Split them up, carve them up, and strengthen yourself!”

"Wardrick, don't you want to set up a consortium with yourself as the core?"

“Like Blackstone Capital, or Light of Tomorrow?”

Although Blackstone Capital does not have a large number of capitalists involved, due to the existence of its core business Blackstone Bank, it has become the second extremely influential consortium under Lynch after the Light of Tomorrow.

At the same time, the Blackstone capital itself has great influence, and Lynch is becoming one of the people with the highest status, the most power, and the most weighty words in the federation!

He is only twenty-nine years old and has already reached such a point. How could Mr. Wardrick not be moved at this time?

Becoming the core of a consortium and controlling huge wealth and power is almost one of the ultimate pursuits of every capitalist!

Mr. Wardrick put out his cigarette in the ashtray, poured himself some wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

Asking as if seeking psychological comfort, "Why me?"

Lynch patted his arm, "Because we almost became a family!"

Mr. Wardrick's face was already a little red, and his eyes widened, "Hell, can you stop talking about this all the time?"

If he hadn't stopped him, Lynch and Severella's children might have been called grandpa by now.

And he may also become one of the major shareholders of the Blackstone Group, or become the president of the Light of Tomorrow.

No matter which one it is, it is much better than his current situation.

And all of this came to an abrupt end when he made that decision.

Lynch laughed and didn't care, he could talk about this for the rest of his life!

After joking for a while, Mr. Wardrick finally decided to take another gamble.

He bets that Lynch will win and keep winning!

"how should I do?"

he asks.

Lynch's answer was not that detailed or thorough, but was relatively simple.

"We first need to come up with some products that can compete with them to attack their market and steal their customers."

"We will force them to use industry self-regulatory rules to deal with us, and then we will punch them in the nose!"

"As for the product, I already have some ideas..."

In business, Lynch is definitely a professional.

Even if he is not a professional in some fields, with his knowledge base and vision beyond this era, he cannot make mistakes!

If there's one thing that can shake the hearts of customers of Federal Heavy Industries Products, it's "manliness"!

What could be more "manly" here than the military and military style?

Military bulletproof jeeps without weapon interfaces, explosion-proof sidecar three-wheeled motorcycles, military multifunctional patrol vehicles that can be renamed all-terrain vehicles...

In addition to these, the ordinary civilian car market cannot be ignored, especially mid- to low-end products.

As the federal economy enters a period of explosive development, more and more people will be able to afford cars and use them.

The sinking market will usher in an unprecedented huge explosion. As long as we seize this opportunity, we will not worry about future development.

And all of this made Mr. Wardrick addicted to it, addicted to the business empire that Lynch talked about!

The next day, Ankok Industrial announced the establishment of two wholly-owned subsidiaries for the development, production, and sales of civilian heavy industry products.

Among them, civilian automobiles and civil machinery are mainly used, which immediately attracted great attention from Norinco...
